Christian Pulisic hands Tuchel’s Chelsea an injury boost ahead of Newcastle clash

Christian Pulisic have returned to training with the rest of the team on Thursday ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Newcastle United on Saturday.

The winger has been sidelined since the start of September after sustaining an ankle injury while away on international duties with the USMNT.

The 23-year-old was expected to be fully fit within the next 10 days but Thomas Tuchel revealed the American suffered a setback to see his time out heavily extended to well over a month.

However, Pulisic has returned to training at Cobham with the rest of the team, handing Tuchel a major boost ahead their Premier League clash against Newcastle.

It remains unclear if Pulisic will be available to face Newcastle, but nevertheless, training with the rest of the squad will be extremely pleasing for the American, Chelsea and Tuchel.
